We have published this online Directory to give you a comprehensive guide to the services provided by List G. It states concisely what you need to know about almost every barrister on the List. Details of members include employment history, current areas of practice, contact numbers and experience. There is a wealth of additional information concerning members of the List which, for practical reasons, cannot be included in this directory, but which can readily be obtained from the Clerks.

Staff

We are proud of the professional service provided by our staff who include :

Nadia Gatto, previously employed in a managerial position with the Commonwealth Bank, is responsible for the management of our accounts section. Her experience in banking over 17 years - 8 of which were spent in the branch at Owen Dixon Chambers, has prepared her well for her current position.

Melinda Addison has extensive experience as an executive assistant both here and overseas, and brings those skills to her duties as our receptionist.

The primary function of a Barristers' Clerk is that of a service provider. These services include :

- assisting with the selection of Counsel;
- negotiating fees;
- raising and processing accounts;
- delivery, collection and processing of mail and briefs;
- telephone message service;
- 24 hour service to counsel and solicitors.

The importance of briefing the most appropriate counsel for any matter, cannot be under-estimated. Given all the relevant information, the Clerks are able to assist the solicitor in this sometimes difficult process. Access to an electronic diary system, both during and after office hours, ensures that availability can be assessed quickly and efficiently.
